Thanks Peka 52 ... that sound correct ... actully black sex-link is a mix between Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Rock (I read that somewhere) and all my chicks come from the same hatchery - that has only these 3 breeds. --- Black Star sounds good!
does anyone knows how much protein mealworms have? If you can choose between mealworms and superworms (Zophobas Morio) what would you choose for your chikens? (considering rasing Superworms is harder)
thanks Hemmet and Taylor ... Im visiting a earthworm farm on monday - Im in Mexico so they should produce most of the year. The thing is... the worm you guys talk about dont know even how they look like or where to get them... I'll let you know how these worms work if I do get them, thanks again
Hy Kizanne,
can you help me with hints or a web-link on how to grow meal-worms? Thanks!!!
also, how much do you give per chicken or per flock? do ypu know ho much protein will add to their diet? ... sorry I like to make questions :)
Thanks!
haha Reyvaughn I like your answer ... if we get to intense or worry too much we will loose the love of chickens like what happened to you with horses - Im just like you, I just wanted to have a better scientifical reasons not to give soy. on the other hand Galore 3 I also understand what you are...
hy, if mealworms are a concern for some of us, how good or easy or practical is to raise earthworms? I know the fertilizer coming from this guys is great! and I can use it in my vegetable garden ... any comments?
hy everyone,
sorry for the question, but why is soy meal so bad? - is it bad for the chickens themselves or bad for humans that will eat the meat-chicken or the eggs???
I want to make a very simple feed...something like (please dont laugh!)
50% yellow corn (grinded very finely) 10% prot.
30%...
